Melanism in salamanders: effects of insularity, sex and size on dorsal colouration in Salamandra salamandra

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study we tested the effects of insularity on amphibian colouration using the fire salamander as a model system. Although increased melanism was not a consistent pattern across all islands, salamanders from one island exhibited higher proportions of black pigmentation than mainland populations, while insular populations overall showed reduced ...

Economic Growth Vulnerability Across Euro Area Countries

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyse growth vulnerability in the four largest Euro Area (EA) economies, measured as a lower quantile of the growth distribution conditional on EA‐wide and country‐specific macroeconomic/financial factors. Growth densities are obtained under a normal activity scenario and under stressed conditions.

Unveiling the Functional Role of KIF21B in Microglia Inflammatory Response

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Microglia express KIF21B in both sexes. KIF21B binds to microglia cytoskeleton; inflammation alters such interaction promoting a phagocytic state in females. In male microglia KIF21B modulates migration. ABSTRACT Microglia are brain immune cells that maintain homeostasis and respond to injury, changing cell morphology to drive inflammation, migration ...
